Hey folks,
I'm new here and need advice. I recently aquired Space Duel at an estate sale, the guy wanted $500 but I kept coming back and on the last day was able to talk him down to $200.
It is in pretty good shape but the two 5 amp fuses on the card by the monitor blow, I think one of your forum members called it a deflection board or something like that.
It does power up, the bezel light comes on but the fuses blow before it gets a chance to power up, both of them. I can see the main picture tube is on because it does light up where it is connected.
Here are my options
Easy fix (If any of you know what the issue is), clean it up and put it in my office for fun.
or
Gut it and sell the parts and turn the cabinet into a MAME machine (Don't know if MAME is a bad word around here since it's not really an original arcade but it is an option to recycle the machine).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
